After being nearly the entire Steeler offense in 2021, Harris's numbers took a dip last season. Down over 400 total yards and 33 receptions, Harris continued to be a volume driven, low efficiency option. Yes the line was brutal, but Harris has yet to display much burst and wiggle in the NFL. His single carry for 20+ yards was by far the fewest among backs with 200 or more carries and over his first 579 NFL totes, the longest rush he's been able to muster is a measly 37 yards. Because he's fundamentally sound and durable, he'll remain the workhorse for this team, but Pittsburgh has to get more splash plays from this running game if they are going to compete in this loaded division. Don't be shocked to see Jaylen Warren, who ran for 4.9 yards per carry behind that same cruddy o-line, steal some work from Harris. I think we've seen what Harris is over his first two seasons, and it's a borderline RB1/2 in all formats with little room to climb.

Jaylen Warren the RB1 in Pittsburgh? Warren moves ahead of Najee Harris on depth chart By: Doug Orth | Tue Nov 14, 11:30 pm

| | Jaylen Warren was announced as a starter for the first time Sunday. He said Tomlin told him the night before.
"He did kind of mention the night before that whatever had transpired throughout the team, he was saying that he was going to announce me and that I'm deserving of it." (ESPN - Brooke Pryor)
FFToday's Take: Warren was announced as the starter for the team's Week 10 game against the Packers, but Najee Harris handled the first two touches by a running back in the game and ended up finishing the drive with a rushing score. Regardless of the designation, Warren has done enough to warrant splitting work with Harris at the very least and has generally been the more productive of the two backs in fantasy. Consider both backs low-end RB2s until further notice.
